From what I've heard, I wasn't down there today:
Melbourne passed static events, but suffered a pull-rod failure during transport due to a manufacturing defect.
Monash suffered delam to their...

Couldn't the time you wasted stealing number plates and posting pictures have been better spent with Will's mum? http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Good luck on the weekend....

Steve was wrong, on both counts. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Craig, it wasn't that harsh, I could have mentioned Sutto's mother.

Was that from the sewage or Ric's aftershave though?

Perhaps Steve was just disappointed that there was no pics of the main engine, only the backup. Here you go Steve, feeling more balanced now?

I can't tell, is that fuel tank neck surrounded by part of the side impact structure? We got pulled up in scruitineering last year for a similar thing.

That's a lot of stagger there - even if you are used to that oval junk http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

As Dan said there is a specific sealant for petrol tanks, otherwise we have had success with petrol resistant silicon sealant.

I think Swinburne used a bevel gear setup in 2002. The setup I'm thinking of had a horrible dead zone.

A bench grinder might be nice too

We had our diff cover anodised last year, only 1 weld but it looked fine (not perfect but good enough).

Melbourne ran the stock GSXR sump without problem for 3 years AFAIK. The new engine was a different story, but it had a much different sump/pickup design.

While I agree with Sam about an official interpretation, in speaking with the scrutineers at last years FSAE-A event they really don't want there to be any chance of hot &/or flammable liquids...

The guys who bent our hoops pack them with sand, plug the ends, heat the tube and then bend them. If you email me the pics (c dot farley @ ugrad dot unimelb dot edu dot au), I can post them for you....

We tried using a fuel pump, it didn't work once the oil got to temp and the viscosity and air content changed (lots of bubbles were present). If you are using a garrett turbo, try getting some of...

On Frank's point, we got free internet, phone calls, welding, NC time, lots of free materials and parts (the chassis and body cost ~$100 inc painting) and still finished in the red. Don't...

This structure has been tried at the past at my uni without a great deal of success. In previous years, the team members ended up only listening to the chief engineer, because they knew what was...
